The FT reports on PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary, where he hailed the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as one of Israel’s foremost defenders. The paper notes that both leaders have political capital to gain from the visit.

The Times reports that Fatah are calling for a ‘day of rage’ in response to the new security measures that have been placed around the al-Aqsa Mosque after last Friday’s attack that left two Israeli-Druze police officers dead. The police and protesters have fought a series of running battles around the Mosque since it reopened on Monday.

The Telegraph reports on new US sanctions that are to be placed on the Iranian ballistic missile programme. The US Treasury Department stated the sanctions will target 16 entities and individuals in retaliation for supporting “illicit Iranian actors or transnational criminal activity”. The Iranian government has stated that it is receiving “contradictory signals” from the new US administration leaving it unsure of how to interpret them.

The alleged corruption in the submarine scandal, referred to as Case 3,000 continues to feature across all the Israeli media. Israel Hayom and Maariv assess that information yielded by suspects and witnesses who have been questioned thus far, as well as other information that the detectives have come across in the course of their investigation is likely to result in the investigation branching out into additional defence contracts that might have been tainted by corruption.

Yediot Ahronot relates that in May 2015, during President Rivlin’s visit to Germany to mark 50^th anniversary of diplomatic relations, he also inquired about Germany’s intention to sell advanced submarines to Egypt.  Looking into the matter immediately, Chancellor Merkel told Rivlin that an Israeli official had already given consent to complete the deal with the Egyptians, without the knowledge of either top Israeli security officials or the president.

Yediot Ahronot also reports the German company ‎ThyssenKrupp carried out its own internal inquiry and found no signs of corruption or irregularities, but added that that inquiry was only preliminary.

Meanwhile, Maariv carries quotes by Yesh Atid Chairman Lapid calling for a commission of inquiry, “this is already the largest corruption affair in the country’s history and there is a criminal investigation that must get to the bottom of the affair, regardless of how high ranking the people involved are. It has to be examined how it happened that governmental corruption reached the Prime Minister’s Bureau, since not even Netanyahu says that it didn’t happen on his [watch].”

Haaretz includes an account of a car ramming terror attack yesterday, near Hebron. The assailant was shot and two soldiers, one male one female, were injured.

Yediot Ahronot includes IDF revelations that Hezbollah has established a network of observation posts along the border under the guise of an innocent, but fictitious organisation.  “Green Without Borders” was established by Hezbollah is used as a cover for their illicit military activity in southern Lebanon. The organisation ostensibly gathers ecological and agricultural information to be used to promote environmental protection in Lebanon.

Haaretz reports that the leader of Lebanese Druze, Walid Junblatt made a statement supporting the terror attack on the Temple Mount last Friday.   He also called on Druze in Israel to stop serving in the IDF.

Maariv and Haaretz cover Prime Minister Netanyahu’s meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Orban.  According to Orban, his country had done wrong in World War Two by failing to help the Jews. He added that the Hungarian government had zero respect for anti-Semitism, and that there was currently a renaissance of Jewish life in Hungary.

Yediot Ahronot profiles the Israeli festival coming to London in September, TLV in LDN, Tel Aviv in London which will include a number of Israeli performances and cultural events.
